The power point I bought recently, to install on the back of my skyscraper computer. It has a ELCB/RCD/safety switch in it, and cost me $79.95, from J. R.Turk. They usually sell them for about $130. It looks more special than a standard power point, and plus it's actually better, because of the extra life-saving safety it provides.


This is an inside shot of it. (For most intents and purposes, this is what they look like inside, but this is not a photo of the inside of mine. For more details, contact me personally)


Here is my 486 which I've been using for many years. It was ready to be removed from it's long-standing location at this point.


Here's the space empty of a computer!


And here's my (sorta-) new computer! It's an AMD K6-2 300 system, in a 2nd- hand non-ATX full tower case.


The Nintendo Crossover!! It is (c) 1981, Pat. Pend., Made in Japan. I can't find any references to it on the net! I've tried! All I get is references to things, which aren't this!! It's very puzzling!! The object of it is to get the light squares to go dark, or vice versa. The only ones you have to change are the ones in the inside 4x4 playing field. It works on polarized light! I solved it once!! I will put up a special page(s) devoted to it, and I'll make a computer game of it too!
In the meantime, I challenge anyone to find out anything about this device, on the net. I tried, and got lot's of no good links. Find something!!
Also, I've started making a computer game version of it! It's called Crossunder v1.0.

Anyway, here are 4 pics of it:

The WinNet III
A small plain box, with a standard looking AMIBIOS inside, a Cyrix Media GX (?) CPU, a heap of ports, Linux on chip, 28Mb RAM, and plenty of room inside!
More soon!
